Kostelgrad is a medieval fortress located north of Pregrada in a strategic position that allowed control of roads from different sides. The fort was built on a stone rock from which rise high walls built of carved stone. Inside the outer wall that surrounds the city stands out the western tower with a pronounced low cornice as is characteristic of battery Renaissance towers. It has a large opening for cannons. The city is surrounded by dense forest and has been decaying for centuries. The history of the Kostel manors can be traced back to the arrival of the Counts of Celje, and the most famous owners were the Keglević family. At its foot is a very valuable architectural and urban complex consisting of the church of St. Emerica, the Chapel of the Suffering Jesus, the parish court, outbuildings with a well and a historic cemetery.

Today, the fort is in a dilapidated condition, but it is in the phase of consolidating the walls, the project is financed by the Ministry of Culture. The fort is a favorite picnic spot with a beautiful view of the Sutinska valley, a narrow gap along the river Kosteljina through which you enter the town of Pregrada from the north. Access to the fort is easy and accessible from its northern side from the village of Kostel.
